This is all my school offers.</p>
<p>Self-studied AP tests: Calculus BC, Statistics, US History
These are from this year so I don’t have scores yet.</p>
<p>I tested out of regular calculus and physics at my high school and next year I’m taking all dual-enrollment classes at Cleveland State because I completed my graduation requirements a year early. I’ll most likely take a few math classes beyond Calculus BC. </p>
<p>Extracurriculars:

Volunteering at local arboretum (2 years)</p>
<p>Additional (hardship):
I was in foster care from when I was 9 to when I was 12. I was adopted by my grandmother in 2008 and then moved back in with my biological parents after she died during the summer after my freshman year in high school. </p>
<p>Common App essay: Very good.
Reed supplement: Good, I guess. I haven’t written it yet.</p>
<p>Recommendations: I have good relationships with my teachers but I don’t know if their letters will actually convey that. </p>
<p>I’ll probably be doing an alumni interview for Reed, but I can’t visit.</p>
